In this choreographed tragicomedy, an elderly couple aged 94 and 95 years, seeking relief from their boredom, solitude and isolation, create a lineup of invisible guests who are jostling to enter the house. Among them we find a colonel, a Sleeping Beauty, a group of children, animal reporters, and even the King himself.

This absurd commotion is animated by an unending shifting of chairs to accommodate the ghostly guests. Then the person everyone has been waiting to hear – the orator – finally arrives. Against all expectations, he is a dancing, mute child. It is this child who, through the language of dance, will share with them a universal message that conveys what both the old man and children hope for the world. This original adaptation brings together various disciplines: dance, theatre, music, literature, etc.
Ages: Age 8 and up
